0:11.4	How are you doing today?
0:13.4	I'm doing great, Steve.
0:15.3	It's funny that you started that with the whole thing with the gum because that's like the first thing I was watching some of the video. And I thought, that was like such a curt thing to do because he was always chewing gum. And then he started doing the thing when he got in the ring, and he would like spit it out and bat it into the crowd. I was like, what? Imagine you're out there. oh, I got Mr. Perfect's gum.
